Prophecy of the Force: Part 5

Part 5

When Mace and Anakin arrived at the medical facilities, the physicians were already waiting for them. Before Mace had escorted Anakin there, he had contacted them and told them to expect their arrival. Half a dozen droids, doctors, and nurses were standing in a circle, one with a syringe filled with a very strong sedative. They knew they would need a lot of this to keep Anakin subdued, at least until the Jedi Council was ready for him.

Knowing that nothing he could do now would help his situation, he went along with the plan and let the medical staff inject him with the sedative. He could immediately feel the effect of it and before he knew it, he was on a bed in a deep sleep.

“Thank you for your help. If there are any changes, please contact me immediately. And make sure you have someone watching over him very closely. He could potentially be very dangerous.” Mace then departed and returned to the Council Chambers. A few of the Masters that were still on Corusant were there waiting for him. Holoimages of Masters Yoda, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Plo Koon were present as well.

“What are we to do know, Master Yoda?” Asked Ki-Adi. “Now that the Chancellor is dead, how would you like to proceed with the Senate? Are we to give them the truth about the Sith Lord?”

“Hard to decide, what to do. Come out, the truth may, whether wanted or not, it is,” answered Yoda.

Mace then brought up the subject of Anakin and what they were to do regarding the situation with him. He knew that with what Anakin had admitted to him in Palpatine’s office, his days as a Jedi were numbered.

“Hmm, meditate on this, I will. Young Skywalker’s fate, later it will be decided. Now, concentrate we must, intact, the Senate, we must keep.”
